We should only allow him to leave if we gain something. Getting them to pay his full price isn’t enough. We need to say we want Reynolds or it’s not happening at all

Could you imagine this team with Reynolds? So good...
 
I like the sentiment and I used to think the same way, however I feel like this is what the Broncos always do and it gets us nowhere. Would the Storm or the Roosters pay money to ensure a player can leave and get into a situation? Absolutely fucking not, and look at them. It’s that kind of attitude that is required to win comps and sooner or later the Broncos need to decide if they want to win or do the want to be the nice guys.
Yes, and I'm not saying we should bend over and take it. I just wouldn't be intellectually honest with myself if I didn't put a player's welfare before results.
Also, if Roberts isn't psychologically sound, he isn't worth much to us and remains a burden in our cap.

That said, if souffs and/or Bennett want him, put your best bid forward, the Broncos are not the NRL's Salvation Army.

Reynolds..

Or Cronk, Keary, Cleary, DCE, Pearce, Morgan, Taylor, Moses, Brooks, Green, Townsend.

Let's not get too specific, all we need is a 7 who can kick a footy to a point on the field with 75% accuracy and we'll be a top 4 side.
 
Yep, I wouldn't stand in his way if that is what he wants to do. But be arsed if I'd pay for it. Wayne wants to mentor him and make him into a great human being. Excellent, well put your money where your mouth is, old boy.
C'mon, WB hasn't indicated he WANTS to mentor or any other such nonsense so wtf should he have to put his money anywhere? As far as I can tell Roberts is reported as wanting to shoot through. Blame him if anyone.
 
Could we get Allan back? Throw him at Fullback, move Boyd to right centre, simples.

Although it must be said, I'm not even sure if Allan is going to be good yet, he's been acceptable on the wing for Souths, but his work rate is really concerning. In his 5 games playing 80 minutes on the wing he's only surpassed 100 running metres once, which is really not what you're looking for from a modern day winger, they need to be an extra forward for you out of your own end.

He is only young still but he should be enthusiastic and want the ball more. He is a solid boy so he can be using that and concentrate on making meters. There was mention of a attitude problem with him, so maybe that's why. I do like him though he is such a great runner of the ball and has a nice pass on him. If not save the money and possibly go for ponga , bronx junior.

Doubt it, Isaako is our next fullback and Allen isn’t the best winger.
 
Broncos coach Anthony Seibold has highlighted the importance of 19-year-old prop Payne Haas to the side after insisting he is now a must in the starting line-up.
Haas, who played 80 minutes against Canberra last week in his just his second game as a starter, will start against the Cronulla Sharks on Saturday night despite the return of Matt Lodge from injury and Tevita Pangai jnr from suspension.
Haas and Lodge will line up in the front-row and Pangai will start at lock. Joe Ofahengaue reverts to the bench alongside Kotoni Staggs, David Fifita and Thomas Flegler.
It is a sign of Haas's meteoric rise that Seibold said he did not see him as a bench player even with all his first-choice forwards available for the first time.
"Payne has been outstanding the last two weeks. He's won the coach's award and the players' player two weeks in a row," Seibold said.
"Payno is a player that needs to start the game and he is a player that can play long minutes. He has an extraordinary ability to work hard and repeat his efforts. We need him out there. I don't think he needs to play 80 minutes every week but last week we were down a little bit in experience.

Broncos v Sharks - Round 7
"He is only 19, so I am not saying he's experienced, but last week we needed all hands on deck. Payno is a starting player for me."
The fly in the ointment for the Broncos, and the one glitch in Haas's game as well, has been missed one-one tackles for Brisbane under fatigue.
"At times we have missed crucial one-on-ones," Seibold said.
"Payne missed one tackle all game [against Canberra] but it was for a try when Bateman went through him close to the line. The week before he missed [two] but one was the one on Chee Kam to lose the game. The missed tackles we are making are costly."
Seibold said the Broncos made five line breaks against the Raiders and that 22 points should have been enough to win. It was defensive lapses that cost the side, not issues with the attack or spine.
"There were too many one-on-one misses. It is not system errors," Seibold said.
"That is where we need to find our improvement. It is an individual focus we need to be better with our one-on-one contact."

Pat Carrigan drops out of the 17 that played Canberra but he won't play Intrust Super Cup this weekend. Seibold will keep him fresh ahead of a gruelling 11-day period for the Broncos from last Sunday's clash with Canberra through to next Thursday's away blockbuster against Souths.
"We've got three games in 11 days so we need to make sure we keep a couple of fresh bodies," Seibold said.
"It is great to have everyone available after a disrupted start with our middles.
"It was great news from the specialist on Wednesday morning to have Lodgey back, who I think was probably one of our best forwards in the earlier rounds when he's played. He will start tomorrow night.
"We thought we made some good strides the last couple of weeks and we'll get a good indication of where we are at against Cronulla."

Half Kodi Nikorima left training several minutes early on Thursday with a bump on a cork he sustained against Canberra but moved freely in the captain's run on Friday.
Teenage half Tom Dearden is in the extended squad but Seibold said Nikorima would be right to play the Sharks
"We named Tom Dearden in our 21-man squad so if there are any dramas Tom will come in but we don't envisage that," Seibold said.
"Tom has been outstanding for Wynnum and it is a good reward for him.
"We had to have a check on Macca [Andrew McCullough] earlier in the week. He had a bit of a facial injury so I had to have some coverage there if he didn't play but he got cleared."
